- Use when modifying or reviewing the Qwik optimizer under packages/optimizer, Rust transform code, WASM/NAPI bindings, optimizer snapshots, or optimizer-facing runtime behavior.
# Qwik Optimizer Development
Use this skill for `packages/optimizer/**` and Rust optimizer work. Keep the repo-wide rules from
`.ruler/AGENTS.md` in force.
## Fast Path
1. Identify whether the change is Rust transform logic, snapshots, WASM bindings, NAPI bindings, or
TypeScript optimizer-facing integration.
2. Read the closest Rust source, fixture, snapshot, and runtime helper that consumes the emitted
shape before editing.
3. Keep transform behavior deterministic: prefer explicit parser/AST cases and stable ordering over
source-text heuristics.
4. Use Rust-focused verification first; use `pnpm build.full` only when a full optimizer/WASM rebuild
is required.
5. If a runtime/core change is also involved, load `qwik-core-development` for that slice.
## Source Map
- Rust optimizer core: `packages/optimizer/core/src/`
- Rust fixtures: `packages/optimizer/core/src/fixtures/`
- Rust snapshots: `packages/optimizer/core/src/snapshots/`
- WASM bindings: `packages/optimizer/wasm/`
- NAPI bindings: `packages/optimizer/napi/`
- Optimizer package entry points: `packages/optimizer/src/`
- Vite/Rollup integration: `packages/qwik-vite/src/`
## Verification
Use the smallest command that covers the change:
```bash
pnpm test.rust
pnpm test.rust.update
pnpm build.full
pnpm vitest run packages/qwik-vite/src/plugins/plugin.unit.ts
```
`pnpm test.rust` maps to `make test`, which runs Cargo tests for
`packages/optimizer/core/Cargo.toml`. Use `pnpm test.rust.update` only when snapshot updates are
intentional.
## Hard Rules
- Do not hand-edit generated optimizer build output in `dist/`, `lib/`, or `target/`.
- Do not update snapshots without understanding the transform behavior change.
- Add or update a transform fixture/snapshot for every optimizer behavior change, including negative
cases where the transform must not run.
- Keep optimizer output and runtime JSX/QRL/loader semantics in sync. If a transform changes an
emitted attribute, import, segment, or capture shape, inspect the runtime consumer too.
- After touching `packages/optimizer/core/`, do not claim verification without Rust test/build
evidence or a recorded blocker.
- If this skill becomes stale after source inspection, update it before finishing or record why
guidance edits were out of scope.
